Review on πŸ“€ Panasonic 4K Blu Ray Player - DP-UB420-K (Black), Ultra HD Premium Video Playback, Hi-Res Audio, Voice Assist by Richard Cuneo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

If the picture is everything, it's a winner, though.

I've been using Sony upscaling for a while but found (like many others) that Sony players were problematic and often short lived so I turned to this Panasonic when Sony was stuck for too long. I think I'm pleased that the picture is beautiful, both for Blu-ray discs and well-made DVDs. Unfortunately, I wish my praise could go further. The instructions are just terrible, so what is supposed to be easy is not for me. Even getting "online" was a chore because the word "password" isn't used - instead it's about "authorization" or something similar. Hard drive loading isn't particularly fast and there's a top window that keeps popping up telling you it's a Blu-ray or DVD. I mean you don't know? Some of what gamers use with Alexa, but it's so clumsy and takes so long to command, why bother? the excellent picture mitigates this somewhat. But this user has few. I want to give a higher praise.

Pros
  • TWIN HDMI PURE AV (double isolated output): high quality sound
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
